Outscored by Shane Long last season who would probably be better option than Austin because at least he can move Please dont sign Shane Long either Long works so hard for his team, ok he’s not the most gifted but he’ll always put a shift in, I’d take him as back up to Wesley too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure butland or Heaton would be cheaper in January anyway. Butland and Heaton may have already been sold by January. Butland would prove to be worth every penny imo, not least because of his age.

No, but its a fecking big part of it. It's like playing a GK that can't save anything but can organise a defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t think of a better option who would be happy to be back up I got this feeling if everyone on here was keen on Austin you wouldn’t want us to sign him. I could be wrong.

KentVillan Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 36 minutes ago, Cizzler said: I think this current Villa team is a lot worse. That team had Kante, Mahrez and Vardy - who are streets ahead of any player we currently have. Kasper Schmeichel is also a lot better than any of our current keepers. Your perception of Kante, Mahrez and Vardy benefits massively from hindsight. I'd say perceptions of Leicester at the time were close to perceptions of Villa now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenfly Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 If we're looking for a backup striker, I heard about this guy who's currently without a club. Gabby something or other... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
